Doomsday Code

Chapter 877 Word of mouth

The Snow Woman gave Chen Cheng a bright smile.

When Chen Cheng saw the smile on her face, he smiled back and then looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, who was completely stunned.

The woman looked up at Chen Cheng, and when their eyes met, she immediately shrank back in fright.

Since Xue Nu had already taught her a lesson, Chen Cheng had no intention of going all the way to kill her.

"Take her away. I don't want to get into trouble just because of a slap."

Chen Cheng addressed the dazed thugs.

At this point, these guys no longer dared to surround Chen Cheng and demand his cooperation as they had done before.

Upon hearing Chen Cheng's words, the thugs immediately scrambled to carry the woman away at top speed.

Chen Cheng then scanned the hall, glancing at the two people standing in the attic, before chuckling and saying:

"I apologize, everyone. I was tricked when I went out today, and I'm quite angry, so I'm sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."

Clearly, Chen Cheng was not only furious at the woman's insult to Xue Nu, but also at Fei Xin for playing him for a fool.

The commotion here is so big, yet no one in charge of the Snowdrift Pavilion has come out yet, which means they don't want to see us at all.

At that moment, the people in the hall saw Chen Cheng reveal a set of white teeth and apologize, and they all felt that this young man, Chen Cheng, was quite terrifying.

Meanwhile, the two people on the upper floor were also bowing to Chen Cheng from afar.

"Brother, you are indeed formidable. Augustine deserved his punishment for offending you."

A young man who looked to be in his early twenties said to Chen Cheng.

However, Chen Cheng did not respond to these words.

The young man was somewhat embarrassed upon seeing this, and a hint of anger appeared on his face, but he didn't show it when he saw the collapsed ruins.

With a flick of his sleeve, he took the woman beside him and went into the attic.

At this moment, Chen Cheng flipped his hand, took out a bag of gold coins from his spatial ring, placed it on the counter, and said:

"This is compensation for the damage to your Snowdrift Pavilion to cover the repair costs."

As for that woman, she brought it on herself; your Snowdrift Pavilion will cover her medical expenses.

Chen Cheng then left Snow Maiden and the other woman from Snowdrift Pavilion.

Upon seeing the bag of gold coins on the counter, their impression of Chen Cheng changed once again.

Chen Cheng showed no mercy to those who deserved to be beaten, and he also readily paid compensation for what needed to be compensated. He was clearly a refined and dignified young nobleman.

After leaving the Snowdrift Pavilion, Sheli suddenly spoke:

"Young master, there is no one hiding in the attic. We must have been tricked."

At this moment, Sheli exuded an extremely cold aura. The thought of Chen Cheng being tricked made him feel an urge to kill.

"Calm down. If we've been played, so be it. At least this one move today can put Ailav's mind at ease."

Then Chen Cheng turned to the two of them and said:

"Since you have some free time today, you can go shopping to your heart's content. I'll take care of whatever you want to buy."

Then Chen Cheng rubbed the octopus on his shoulder and said:

"And you're the same way. Do you want me to buy you a female octopus to keep you company?"

When Squidward heard Chen Cheng making fun of him, he immediately slapped one of his tentacles at Chen Cheng's face.

Furthermore, this time, Squidward's tentacles were somewhat different from before, with a faint hint of hidden spiritual power, to the point that Chen Cheng couldn't catch one of his tentacles.

At this moment, Yuki-onna cheered. It wasn't that she didn't want to go shopping, but that she didn't want to go shopping alone. Now that Chen Cheng and Squidward were there, Yuki-onna's shopping instincts as a woman were brought out.

Afterwards, Chen Cheng and his companions began a shopping spree in the city. Meanwhile, news of Chen Cheng's feat of defeating the Platinum-level player Augustin with a single punch at the Snowdrift Pavilion also spread.

When Elav saw these messages, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"A platinum-level prodigy, it seems they really do have that much wealth."

Ailaf looked at the intelligence report with greed in his eyes.

He wasn't afraid of Chen Cheng's status as a prodigy. Even if Chen Cheng had joined a powerful force and received its cultivation, he, Ailaf, as the Northern Governor of the Engla Kingdom, was not afraid of these powerful forces.

As for Chen Cheng's previous statement about being inspired by him to donate money, Ai Laf just took it as a casual remark and naturally didn't believe it.

The only thing he could think of was the parliamentary session that was to be held ahead of schedule at the end of the year. Perhaps the Hunmo Kingdom sent him to contact him because they knew his reputation and wanted to influence the kingdom to support them through him.

After all, besides being notorious for corruption and bribery, Ai Laf was also known for his ability to get things done.

At least since he started accepting bribes, he has never messed up a client's business.

Even if some things would actually require more resources and money to handle than bribes, he would still get them done after receiving the money.

And that's what word-of-mouth is.

It was precisely because of his competence that King Engla appointed him as governor here. Of course, his full title was Prime Minister, who oversees all affairs of the Engla Kingdom's northern garrison.

The title of city lord was merely a facade he created to make it easier for people to offer bribes; otherwise, which city lord's mansion could boast such a scale?

What are they doing now?

Elav asked the person reporting to him.

"After leaving Snowdrift Pavilion, they spent money and bought things in various parts of the city. By this time, they should have explored half of the city."

"Going shopping? I heard yesterday that you spent a lot of money on things. It seems you're not a bad person after all."

Then Elav said:

"Withdraw everyone back, and at the same time, bring me the government briefing sent from the capital last month."

The government briefing that Airaf mentioned was somewhat similar to the newspapers in Chen Cheng's previous life, except that it was officially published and only issued once a month. It was also aimed at the kingdom's serving officials, to inform them of the kingdom's current policies.

Elaf wanted to see this in order to analyze the kingdom's political trends. Otherwise, if he couldn't fulfill Chen Cheng's request, it would damage his reputation.

Therefore, these days, even accepting bribes requires a good reputation; otherwise, it becomes a one-off deal and will affect your next business transaction.

Inside Engla City, Chen Cheng had spent the morning shopping. Thanks to his spatial ring, he wasn't carrying any large bags. However, his slightly pale face revealed just how powerful the allure of shopping with a woman truly was.

"No, let's find somewhere to eat first."

When Chen Cheng saw the food stall where he had eaten last night, he thought of the owner's cooking skills and immediately spoke up.

The snow woman, who had just been excited, now felt a little hungry when she heard about food, especially when she smelled the aroma emanating from the stall owner's cooking.

This made her hungry even more.
